Abhay Saarthi

Project Abhay Shifts Gears: Project Abhay Enters Mission Mode as Abhay Saarthi

Project Abhay, an initiative developed by the Centre for Rural Development & Technology (CRDT), IIT Delhi, in collaboration with Foresight Foundation, has successfully completed its pilot phase. Supported by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH), Government of India, the project was launched in March 2024 with the mission to screen 50,000 truck drivers across Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. Focused on enhancing truck drivers’ health, vision, and overall well-being, Project Abhay aims to promote sustainable livelihoods and improve road safety.

With its successful pilot phase, Project Abhay is now accelerating forward as Abhay Saarthi, driving impactful change for India’s trucker community.

Livelihood

The idea of Foresight Youth Development evolved and developed around the concept of Positive Youth Development (PYD) which refers to all efforts to provide opportunities for youth to enhance their interest, skills and abilities for better livelihood.

Women for Change

In rural India, women represent 50 percent of the population, but they contribute 75 percent of the development of our rural society by managing households and agricultural fields. Despite their laudable efforts, women have been neglected.

Viksit Bharat

Foresight vision 2025 is driven by the idea of New India and key flagship campaigns like AatmaNirbhar Bharat Abhiyan and Vocal for Local. Our motto is to create an enabling environment for women to join a productive workforce, accelerating rural livelihoods and looking at agriculture with a new perspective to make it profitable.

Mahatma Gandhi’s idea of Gram Swaraj has become more relevant in present day scenario with improvisation to suit present demands. We at Foresight are committed to work for financial independence of women, fostering rural entrepreneurship and revolutionizing agriculture to make it profitable.

Wellness for Livelihoods

Wellness for Livelihoods is a holistic program designed to promote sustainable livelihoods by prioritizing vision care, recognizing its critical role in workforce productivity and quality of life. Under the banner ABHAY (meaning “fearless” in Hindi), the program primarily supports truck and commercial drivers, as well as workers in the informal sector, including artisans, craftsmen, SHG members, and tea estate workers. It offers vision testing and correction, health checkups, upskilling for compliance and fitness, and linkages to social security schemes. Developed with IIT Delhi and supported by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Government of India, the initiative is led by Foresight Foundation with a mission to reach one million beneficiaries in five years. Key projects include Project Abhay (for truck drivers), Abhay Saarthi (for commercial drivers), and Abhay Saksham (for informal sector workers), ensuring vision wellness and overall well-being for sustainable livelihoods.

Enterprise for Livelihoods

Enterprise for Livelihoods focuses on fostering rural entrepreneurship by creating a supportive ecosystem in rural and tribal areas. It provides skill enhancement, digital inclusion, credit access, and market linkages, along with district-level business incubation. The program targets unemployed rural youth and women, encouraging them to establish their own enterprises. It also facilitates the transition of informal businesses into formal enterprises, ensuring long-term growth. By promoting self-employment, the initiative strengthens local economies and livelihoods. With a focus on digital and financial inclusion, it empowers entrepreneurs with essential resources. The program is implemented under the name GLAD (Grassroot Level Action for Development), symbolizing prosperity and progress. It enables entrepreneurs to thrive through structured support and opportunities. Sustainable rural development is at its core, fostering self-reliance. Through GLAD, communities gain the tools to build a resilient future.
